Daily Inspirational Message for November 21, 2013

followyourheart

In terms of days and moments lived, you’ll never again be as young as you are right now, so spend this day, the youth of your future, in a way that deflects regret. Invest in yourself. Have some fun. Do something important. Love somebody extra. In one sense, you’re just a kid, but a kid with enough years on her to know that every day is priceless.
– Victoria Moran
 

A couple of years ago, my daughter came to her father and me and told us that she wanted to take a break from college and move to a tropical island. Since she was only a year away from graduating, we naturally questioned the wisdom and practicality of this decision. She was in her early twenties, however, so I told her that while she is young, she should follow her heart and go wherever she feels drawn to go. Later that day, I realized that we are ALL as young as we will ever be this lifetime, so that advice is applicable to all of us: whatever it is we’re longing to do, odds are good there will never be a better time to do it than right now.
